Denise Lithgow: NSW Embroidery Guild

Presenter Bio

3D Felted Vessel - Vessels such as vases and bowls are both ancient and familiar “everyday” forms.

Design and create a unique sculptural vessel using pure merino wool in this inspiring creative workshop.

Textile artist Denise Lithgow will guide you through the process of making and moulding felt into innovative forms and shapes. You’ll learn how to form shapes and translate these into three-dimensional non-functional vessels.

 You’ll have the opportunity to explore works from her collection, or you can bring your own photos for inspiration.

Suitable for beginners to experienced felters. No drawing skills required.

These practical skills will enable you to gain confidence to seamlessly apply your knowledge to your projects and the curriculum, significantly improving productivity and project outcomes.
